Mexican Side-Salad

(sorry for the out of focus lame picture, it's pretty old)
1 1/2 Romaine hearts, chopped
1/3 cup of ranch dressing
1/4 cup of sour cream
1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
1/4 cup of Mexican mix of cheese, shredded
2/3 cup of your favorite tortilla chips, crushed

In a small bowl combine the ranch dressing, sour cream and taco seasoning. Mix well. Put your Romaine in a large ziplock bag and pour dressing over it. Seal up the bag and shake it until the dressing has coated the salad completely. Then put your salad in a large serving bowl and sprinkle the cheese and chips over the top and lightly toss. Serve and enjoy!!
